The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Clark Kent and Lois Lane travel to a small town to report on an oil well. The drilling brings up two small humanoid creatures from below ground. The townspeople react with fear and hostility, but Superman steps in to protect the creatures from harm.

What happens
Superman and the Mole Men is a 1951 American superhero film released by Lippert Pictures. Produced by Barney A. Sarecky and directed by Lee Sholem, it stars George Reeves as Superman and Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. It is the first feature film based on any DC Comics character, and it is the first occurrence of Reeves playing the role of Superman as he later would in the television series Adventures of Superman. Clark and Lois cover a story on oil drilling in a small town, which inadvertently summons a pair of subterranean, humanoid creatures. Superman defends the creatures against the paranoid and prejudiced townspeople. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
